Product Description
Catalog of over 2500 products for scale modelers (click here).
Scale: 1/72
Includes 1 pair of barrels.
This model represents 14 inch/45 caliber Twin-gun Turret Barrels of New York-class battleships USS New York BB-34 and USS Texas BB-35. Turrets are available separately.
This model turret was designed from official US Navy blueprints of the actual turret obtained from the National Archives and Bureau of Ordnance drawing O.P. 1112 (2nd Revision) dated January 15, 1945.
Notice: this model is available in tan acrylic plastic and economical "White Natural Versatile Plastic", a kind of nylon. White Natural Versatile Plastic is waterproof and strong, a good choice for Radio Control models and Combat RC models where durability is important.
Compared to "Fine Detail" acrylic plastic, sharp edges of models printed in white strong and versatile plastic appear less defined and more rounded. Being nylon, "White Natural Versatile Plastic" is generally not sandable and fewer types of paint and glue will adhere to it. Care is recommended in choosing a paint that will adhere to, and fully cure upon, nylon. Google "glue for nylon", "paint for nylon" and "primer for nylon" to find several good choices.
Customers report that "White Natural Versatile Plastic", when compared to "Smooth Fine Detail" acrylic plastic, will have noticeable striations (print lines). To help smooth "White Natural Versatile Plastic" surfaces, apply thin layers of primer meant specifically for nylon. Allow the primer to harden. Then smooth the hardened primer.
